Object of The Game:

To be the ﬁrst to place all tiles from the rack onto the table.

For Rummikub XP/Mini XP Please note:

For 5 or 6 players: use all of the 160.

For 4 or less players: we recommend you to use 104 tiles (numbered

1-13 in 4 colors twice, and 2 joker tiles).

Sets:

A "group" is a set of either three or four tiles of the same number but in different

colours. For example: black 7, red 7, blue 7, orange 7.

A "run" is a set of three or more consecutive (one after the other) numbers, which

are all of the same colour. For example: blue 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Set-up:

Place tiles face down in centre of table and mix well. Every player picks one tile.

The player with the highest number begins. Play proceeds clockwise.

Return tiles to table and mix tiles again. Every player then takes 14 tiles

and arranges them on his/her rack into sets of "groups" or "runs".

The remaining tiles on the table are the pool.

Playing The Game:

Players must place sets, valued at least 30 points (add up the set numbers),

onto the table in the ﬁrst move. This move is called the "initial meld". If unable

to do an initial meld, or player chooses to delay initial meld, a tile must be taken

from the pool and this concludes the player's turn.

During the initial meld sets on the table may not be manipulated or built upon

with tiles from player’s rack.

Players have a time limit of 1 minute per turn. If by the end of 1 minute the

player has failed to successfully manipulate tiles on the table, all tiles must be

returned to their original position and three tiles must be taken from the pool

as a penalty. If there are leftover tiles (and players do not remember their

original positions) they get randomly placed in the pool.

Note: number 1 is always played as the lowest number and may not follow number 13.

Manipulation: Manipulation is the most exciting part of playing "Rummikub". Players try to table the greatest amount of tiles by rearranging or adding to sets which are already on the table. Sets can be manipulated in many ways (examples follow) as long as at the end of each round only legitimate sets remain and no loose tiles are left over. Add one or more tiles from rack to make new set: Tiles on rack 3 Tiles on table 8 Blue 4,5,6 are on the table. The player adds a blue 3.
